March 1, 2021
Neutral ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The process began with a discussion with the Engineering Manager. This was followed by an offline coding test, which had to be completed within 5 hours using only Java, Maven, and JUnit.

After the coding test, I was invited to online interviews with the SRE/DevOps team. These interviews included a review of the coding test, a discussion about team behavior, and a short meeting with the Manager.

Since the offered salary was less than the average for that position (according to Glassdoor), I did not accept the offer.

Questions

Basic Java questions,

Lot of SRE/DevOps related scenarios: How to handle peak request time, scaling, error rates, etc.

Focusing on behavior and working in the present team, expectations, and so on.
